“Virtuo allows us to offer our customers – large and small – the full trade show experience, with all the buying and networking opportunities of a physical trade show yet without the expense of time and travel associated with one,” says Randy Martin, Vice President of Business Development for TIM-BR MART. “Eliminating travel out of the equation not only cuts costs for our customers and members alike, but also reduces costs for our vendors, who have been able to offer our customers and dealers more competitive buys as a result.”

“At previous Chalifour shows, I would spend time traveling to the venue and then once at the show, only get to spend a couple hours there,” says Michel Daigle from Quincaillerie Auto Daigle in Thetfrod-Mines, QC, a customer of Chalifour. “With Virtuo, I can take my time and don’t feel pressured to buy right away; it’s a lot more convenient.”

Chalifour’s virtual trade show results far surpassed those of prior physical trade shows. Attendance doubled, and the virtual event booked over $46 million in sales. Chalifour also had their first ever, $1 million dollar weekend. Chalifour charged $2,850 per booth to a record 416 sponsors.

“By providing effective buying and networking opportunities, Chalifour is offering both sponsors and buyers a valuable service,” said Communque Director of Communications Adelphi Kenndy. “With its attendance and 416 booths, the Virtuo Virtual Trade Show is the world’s largest.”
